JD.com reports $1.4b profit as Chinese consumer spending rises

Chinese ecommerce company JD.com has reported a substantial increase in fourth-quarter profit, reaching approximately US$1.4 billion, compared to US$469.5 million in the same period last year.

The company attributes this growth to an increase in consumer spending within China, the world’s second-largest economy.

For the December quarter, revenue rose to US$47.9 billion, reflecting a 13.4% increase from 306 billion yuan a year earlier.

Following this performance, JD.com’s US-listed shares experienced a nearly 5% increase in pre-market trading. Its Hong Kong-listed shares closed 8.42% higher at US$23.03 on Mar.6.
